Sir,
The papers transmitted by you to this Office on the 28 th Ult o in the case of Mr. Hakkaliah Foster, have been examined, and, as the Law of the 3 rd of March, 1819, under which he was re-examined by Doctors Thompson & Paine, does not embrace any case where an increase of pension is claimed, the object of his application is not distinctly known, unless it be for a certificate to enable him to draw the pension now due, from the Branch Bank U. S. in New York. Should this be his wish, it will be complied with, on his making affidavit to the loss, or destruction of the first certificate granted to him by the Department, or that he never received one, as the case may be; — stating in it the company, regiment & line to which he belonged, the amount of his pension per month &c. and having the same properly authenticated, sent to the War Department. —
I am, Sir, very respectfully, Your obed t Serv t .
